One Premium account for 2 email adresses

[Uli Michalski]

I want to use trello in 2 different jobs I do. Therefor I need 2 different "accounts" ... but both am I. Is there any solution not to pay twice for myself?

Hi Uli, welcome to the community! :)

First thing that's worth noting is that in Trello there's the concept of a Workspace: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/what-are-trello-workspaces/. Subscriptions apply to the Workspace and it's associated users, rather than your account itself. If you upgrade a Workspace from Free to Premium, you're charged based on the number of billable users. More info here: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/how-billing-works-with-trello-premium-and-standard/

You could have 1 Trello account if you wish, with a few options on how to proceed:

- One option is you could have a separate Workspace for each job which would contain the boards specific to that job. Advantage is you could keep everything separate. Downside is you would need to have 2 separate subscriptions if you want both the Workspaces to be Premium.

- Another option is you have one Workspace, and make use of our Collections feature in Premium: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/creating-collections-for-premium-workspaces/. This allows you to categorise boards within your Workspace by tagging them with collections. For example, you could have a collection for each job. Advantage of this option would be it allows you to maintain only one subscription.

Hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.

Dear Oliver, thanks for your support, and ideas, I really appreciate that, and I am happy to be part of this community now :-)

Unfortunately it does not really help, because I want to use different email-addresses to get notified. To work in different roles seems to be still something weird in the working field ... I just didnt expect to face problems with this at Trello.

So: thank you and have a wonderful day -- Uli

Hi Uli,

No problems. If it helps, you can invite additional users to a Workspace and boards, and then even add them as members to the cards. This could help facilitate receiving notifications to multiple emails.

I realise it's not ideal needing to maintain multiple accounts, but it could be one way that you approach this. Have one account you use as the primary, while having a secondary that's purely for the purpose of adding to boards and watching them. That way you could receive notifications to both.

Dear Oliver,

nice that you keep trying to find a solution for me, this really makes me smile :-)

The idea to use the role of a guest/observer might help .. I will have a look for it and will come back to you/ the community :-)

No problems Uli, happy to help!
